Has anyone found a gluten-free protien bar? I am finding it hard to add protien to my diet while I am on the road and in between workouts.

There are some Balance bars that are gluten free. Just check the label because they will not hide anything :D They will list wheat,rye,barley,oats if it contains any

We get the bars from Gluten Solutions. They are an average of 15 grams of protein a bar. We like the mint bars the best, also the Double chocolate are good. The peanut butter chocolate chip are good too. Open Original Shared Link type in the word bars in the search and a lot come up. They are almost all out of stock right now because they are so good! Also try ANDI bars, they are similar.

We use these because they are soy free and I am allergic to soy protein, which many other bars contain. The whole family can eat these.

God bless,

Boost Nutritional Drinks have a protein based drink. I believe that all flavors are gluten-free except Chocolate Malt B) It says right on the can if it is gluten-free or not.

They all taste great, I think.

I often take:

Lara Bars

Clif Bars (the new ones that are Gluten-free Casein-free)

Organic Food Bars

with me when I'm on a trip. They are an aquired taste, and some people never like them.

i think that some of the Think Thin ones are also dairy free but i am not 100% positive.

I could not find any of the gluten-free Balance Bars, is there a list anywhere?

Michelle - are you looking for one with low sugar? Organic Food Bar is really good (the one with chocolate chips) but isn't low sugar (though it isn't high like most other regular ones, either). It has agave nectar in it, and dates, but it tastes better than a Lara Bar (I know how much you love those! ;) )

PS on the Gluten Free part - they do offer some with barley grass in them (the "green" bars) and I wouldn't recommend them just in case of contamination. I wouldn't recommend any barley/wheat grass product, in fact, for that reason.

Michelle,

The bars I mentioned above (the ANDI bars and the Gluten Solutions/Aunt Candace bars found at the Gluten Solutions website) are all dairy free as well.

the ones I listed are CF as well. (I'm also Gluten-free Casein-free - i hate the CF part more than the gluten-free part)

I like the Genisoy bars (most aren't gluten-free, though, so you have to check). I've tried the Larabars and I don't mind them--not something I would eat constantly for the pleasure of dates and other dried fruits, but it's not terrible...and that's a pretty good review, me being a picky fourteen-year-old :P

I eat Kraft South Beach bars all the time. A good amount of protien, and calories. My boyfriend is not celiac and he loves them as well....

Where do you find the Kraft South Beach bars? I am assuming you mean the meal replacement bars and not the cereal bars, right? There was something on the ingredients in the cereal bars that made me think they weren't gluten-free (was it barley malt or oats, or both??). anyhow, I have never found the meal replacement bars...

God bless,

Sorry, I forgot to log my son out before I posted. Oh well, I'll get used to sharing the computer with him. He is really interested in communicating with other Celiacs. :D

Balance will not hide anything....just check the label for wheat, rye, barley, oats. I don't think they have a list because they have that policy.

:( I'm not having any luck here :(

The only gluten-free Clif bars that I can find (according to their website) are the "Nectar" bars - which have a measly 3 grams of protein. They might be good snack bars, but I definitely wouldn't classify them as "protein" bars.

The Think Thin bars have whey in them - which is am profoundly allergic to. It's not that I have lactose intolerance here guys! It's an allergy - not just casein or lactose that I have to avoid. I need to stay away from whey too! (Which really sucks because it's in so many things!)

The Larabars are okay - but, again - *weak* source of protein. Geez if I'm going to pay $1.49 I want more than just a few grams of protein!

Genisoy has whey :(

Balance Bars have whey :(

And the Organic Food Bars look good - but they have sesame in them - which I'm also allergic to. :(

My allergies suck! (dairy, eggs, sesame) :angry:

Any other ideas?

Please? :(

Miss Roben's has a no bake granola bar/trail mix mix. They are free of: Free of: Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Egg, Soy, Corn, Potato, Yeast, Sesame according to the website.

I have made them before and they freeze really well (just wrap in saranwrap and freeze). You just have to add corn syrup and I added peanutbutter and sunflower seeds. I believe. Which would give you more protein. You might give them a try. I liked them

one more side note on those bars, when it says dairy free it means free of : Free of Dairy: Includes all casein, whey, & lactose, & derivatives.

bean, I would suggest making your own. I make some with hemp seeds, walnuts, cranberries, and lemon juice that are decent on protein (because of the seeds). I've also made some in the past with rice protein powder in them to bump that up. Taking out the dairy along with the wheat makes it tough!

I eat the Genisoy bar that is Chunky peanut butter and fudge (or something like that). It is gluten-free and mmm soo good. Plus it has 14g of soy protein/serving! I buy them by the case full.

Elev8 Me bars are excellent gluten free energy bars for those endurance athletes out there.

Also, I have found it the best to just make my own protein bars. Do a google search on homemade protein bars, and use one of their recipes, and just compromise.

You can substitute with whey protein, soy protein, or rice protein powder. I made some with puffed rice, protein powder, almond butter, etc......and they were very good. I just cut them up and packaged them for the road. That way, they don't have all that extra junk in them that protein bars do. Shorter the list of ingredients the better.

Hey Hey. Things aren't that bad. I have dairy, gluten and soy as well. Life goes on :)

I like LaraBars but I agree with you on the protein issue.

What 'bout these?

Thanks for that link! :)

I've been looking at the ANDI bars (haven't ordered them yet). Has anyone tried these? They are from the Autism Network for Dietary Intervention. Here is the site: Open Original Shared Link

They have 15 grams of protein each! And are dairy/gluten/egg/sesame free! (Well, *most* of them are egg & sesame free ;))

Please let me know if anyone has tried them :) I'm going to be ordering some soon and will report back with my findings :)

Thanks again for everyone's help :)

Sounds like there's someone else out there with the same problem I have! I was diagnosed with celiac within the past 5 years but had symptoms my whole life. I'm used to eating strictly gluten-free. But I just found out I'm also allergic to dairy, eggs, red meat, sesame, and am very suspicious of soy.

I used to eat Balance Bars-- the Almond Brownie and Mocha ones were safe. But they have whey. I'm having a terrible time trying to find a protein bar. I am hypoglycemic and must have protein on hand for a quick fix. Carrying around a hunk of meat I can just tear chunks off of is unrealistic.

If anyone with similar allergies can give me suggestions, especially re: products and COOKBOOKS, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
